I was discussing it on X with a user; according to my estimate, it was 6.92 for 12:04, but there was a short descent that might have caused my calculation to be a bit underestimated

This is the fake Ciro, look at his nickname 👀
There’s no need to spell it out when deep down we all know it’s going to happen 😁
⚠️ A little disclaimer to avoid misunderstandings: the w/kg values you see in the graph are estimates I made, and as such, they don't represent the absolute truth.
3/🧵
While it's unlikely he'll reach the level of Vingegaard or Pogačar next year, especially in stages with demanding elevation profiles, Roglič is far from finished. At 35, he proves he's still one of the best in the peloton
2/🧵
Let’s take a closer look at this graph. In 2024, Roglič has rarely fallen below his usual standards. In unipuerto stages, his performances remain excellent.
On Moncalvillo he recorded the best numbers of his career, not bad huh!

Is Primož Roglič really "washed"? 🤔
1/🧵
Training camps for the 2025 season are just around the corner, and this still one of the most common questions we hear or ask ourselves. It’s the perfect time to review this year’s performances and try to find an answer
